well, newly came out . . .

theyve been talking about it for a long time . . .

i know dell has been doing pre-orders for them since may

 

[koldapu]

ooh, also i forgot

a lot of the mobo manufacturers (at least gigabyte) are putting IEEE1394b or firewire 800 on these ., . .

twice as fast a previous firewier

 

[compy]

wow, that's awsome!

 

[koldapu]

well, its pretty old

we have an apple g5 here, and that has firewire 800 . . . got it last year

the only problem . .

it doesnt play many games . . .

 

[compy]

lol, i feel that macs are better for recording studios.

 

[koldapu]

thats what we do with it . . .


burn LOTS of dvds

with the superdrive

but its only 8x . . . :/

i use my iPod with it . . .

and the iSight is AWESOME . . .

the best part though is the monitor . . .

23" HD widescreen!!

we doubled it as a tv

 

[compy]

lol, great way to put a mac to use!

 

[koldapu]

well, the hard drive is humongous . . . .

and we added an external 500GB firewire to capture HD

 

[compy]

wow, that is a HUDGE hdd.

 

[koldapu]

yep

the whole config is

Apple G5 Dual 2GHz
4GB (4X1GB) PC3200RAM
ATI Radeon 9800XT
HD Capture Card
23" HD WS Monitor
250GB Hard Drive (with one slot open for another one)
iSight
Bose Surround Sound System


we hung the monitor on the wall, and its a great place to watch movies, sports . . .
